Battlefield 2: Special Forces revealed
While making a terrible mess of the post-release support, EA doesn't feel ashamed to already reveal its plans for a first expansion to the popular online shooter Battlefield 2.
The addon is called Battlefield 2: Special Forces and it should come out this Fall. The chaps over at PC.IGN conducted an interview with Lead Designer Armando Marini, Producer David Yee, PR Representative Steve Groll and Matt Belanger.
There will clearly be a larger focus on infantry combat and thus somewhat smaller maps (but with more appropriate leveldesign to suit the man-to-man firefights). Flashbang, tear gas grenades are some of the new stuff you can throw with. Special Forces will include 7-8 new maps. Below you can read more specific info about the expansions content.
Frankly, it doesn't sound bad at all but the problems of the original version aren't solved yet which takes the enthusiasm away.

IGNPC: You said there's more gear, so what kind of equipment are we talking about here?
Daivd Yee: The two big areas of equipment are night vision, which transcends to commander mode as well, and then the other section is mobility based features is a zipline, grappling hook.

IGNPC: OK, how many new vehicles and such will be included then?
Yee: So the new bread and butter features for the expansion pack are six new armies, ten new vehicles, and twelve new base weapons.
...
IGNPC: What are the new armies included in the expansion?
Yee: Well, there's the Navy Seals, British SAS, Russian Spetznaz, MEC Special Forces and two insurgent groups, one of which is based on the MEC and one which will have Russian roots.
IGNPC: What's with the equipment for each? New stuff or repurposed stuff?
AJ: The insurgents will be based mostly around the Russian weapons since that's more accurate. The Americans we're adding a new FNScar which is the new special forces assault rifle. And the SAS have a full compliment of weapons too.

Afaik it's Dice developing the server daemon, and it would be EA publishing... so... it's all their fault. period.

All Windows does is offer APIs to programmers like DICE, so that they can program their own games, apps, whatever. It's DICE's fault for making a programming error and thus including a memory leak in the patch. On the other hand, people might say that it was EA who in fact let this error slip past their QA lab and released the patch instead of returning it to DICE and asking for another RC from them.
Either way if you blame DICE or EA, you are right in your own respect.

Anything that is bad is the doing of EA.
A developer can do no wrong!!
